From the moment that I walked into The Abbeys, I was struck by how clean it was. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and were all very pleasant, and had time to answer my mum looked very comfortable.

My mum sadly died on the 9/12/25 but for mums end of life care the previous 9 nights mum was treated exceptionally, we stayed with mum round the clock until her passing but we were provided meals, drinks literally nothing was any trouble for the wonderful staff who we will miss.
Dedication from all staff and everyone was brilliant but Lisa/Kat/Amanda/Zoe/Kirsten, Courtney and Jaime and thank you all.
We are truly honoured that your mum spent her final months with us and that we were able to make that time happy, comfortable, and full of meaningful moments. It means so much to us to hear that she enjoyed the...
We were able to place my dad in The Abbeys at very short notice. We were very pleased with how responsive they were to our needs. All of the staff are very helpful and caring. There is a good dining room and lounge for the residents. We felt our Dad was very safe at The Abbeys and well looked after. There is good parking for visitors and we were always able to find a spot.
Thanks so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it, and well make sure our team hears itthey work incredibly hard.
We asked that mum was watched to make sure she took her medication. Found pills on the floor, under bed in the sheets. Despite asking 3 x nothing changed. While mum was in respite care we asked them to ring for a doctor for mum this wasn't done. We asked for mums drinks to be monitored has she can become easily dehydrated and then confused. Every day I visited drinks bottle almost empty every time. Empty catheter bag was on the sink for 3 weeks . Mum has only one leg,no core balance she was put in her wheel chair without seat belt on. She slipped out some of the carers were pleasant. The food wasn't great. Not the best quality mum missed quite a few meals because she didn't want to eat it. We had to bring in food for her. I wouldn't recommend this care home. There was not enougth staff. First night mum slept in her clothes they didn't come to change her. Her pads were only changed once per day. Inadequate care given in my opinion
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding your mother's recent stay with us. We are very sorry to hear that you felt her care was not to the expected standard. The well being, safety, and dignity of our residents is our highest priority, and we take all feedback very seriously,...
The staff are kind and kindly, despite being extremely busy they take time to get to know the residents and family.
Thank you so much for the feedback this really means a lot to the team
My brother had been a resident of The Abbeys for approx 5 years until his death on Wed 13/5. I can not thank this care home highly enough. The staff have been incredible with my brothers care (he had parkinsons). He was cared for with dignity being true professionals but also all had an extremely friendly attitude. The past yearhad not been easy for him and his attitude sometimes was questionable but they all dealt with this as a matter of lowse. Would recommend to anyone.
I found Abbeys care home to be a delightful place with a lovely garden attached. The staff all seemed very patient and caring. I left just before they were going to serve fish and chips which smelt delicious. I corresponded with the one staff member in particular the most who was so helpful to me and clearly puts so much into making sure all the residents are happy and entertained. I certainly recommend here.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback .We really appreciate all the kind words .
Mum has now been at The Abbeys for two-and-a-half years, Mum lost mobility due to 6 week stay in hospital with no physio, the first 3 months she found hard to settle, she has always said the food was excellent, the staff I know most by name have been so good to her and love to talk when change to do so. One staff member in particular is amazing, the manager is always trying to find new things to do for residents.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We love to interact and have the best for our residents
The level of care is excellent at all times staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food is of a very high standard. The rooms are always clean. Entertainment is regular and usually Elvis is playing or similar music and the residents sing along. Trips out make a lovely change and the residents love the change of scenery.
Thank you so much for your feedback we really appreciate this .
Our Mum has been here almost three years and we found the care to be excellent from all the staff. Mum was very happy here and all the staff were very friendly and always helpful. There were always activities for her to do and entertainment, which was especially good on her 100th birthday. A big thank you to all the staff.
Thank you so much for these kind words. I will pass this on to the team.
Cannot praise this care home enough! Had a few issues with my dad and they have gone above and beyond to help. The staff are absolutely amazing, thank you so much for all your help and support over the last couple of months.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review The Abbeys - your insight is so valued to those who may be curious about what life is like in our home. It's our pleasure to care for your Dad and have you all as a special part of our shared community here.
My aunt chose The Abbeys as her final home herself and always felt she had made the best choice - we had researched several on her behalf. She and the staff grew fond of each other, as did we, her family. We all enjoyed each other's company. Her concerns, when she had any, were respected and discussed with her and acted upon appropriately. We kept in touch with the staff between our visits, which gave us added peace of mind. Throughout 2024 the wellness lead stimulated her to join many of the outings being offered. It was so good to see how much she was enjoying this variety in her life. During her final months, she and us took great comfort in knowing she was very well looked after. The warmth and care every member of staff has given has been truly heartwarming. The whole family say a huge thank you. She called The Abbeys her home. It is a wonderful example of what the best care home should be - what we all want for our families.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review. It was our pleasure to have cared for your aunt and for you to be such a special part of The Abbeys shared home community. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and are always here for you. Sending our best wishes to you all.
My mother-in-law has been at The Abbeys since May 2024. The care home is well maintained and all the staff are very attentive to the residents. She is well cared for and been taken out on lots of different occasions to lots of different places maintaining her standard of life as normal as possible. I would recommend The Abbeys to anyone looking for great care for their loved ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review The Abbeys. What a wonderful insight into our shared home community to share with others who are curious about who we are and what we do. We believe it's never too late for new adventures and appreciate you being an integral part of what makes The Abbeys such a special place to live and visit.
The outings and activities are fantastic and inclusive for all too.
All our family would definitely recommend The Abbeys Care Home to anyone.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. We are honoured to care for your dad and enjoy new adventures and challenges each day in this chapter of his life.
